Job description

Are you a recent graduate or early in your career and interested in understanding how large-scale software systems actually run?

At SEB Life & Pension, we operate business-critical platforms supporting our insurance and pension business. Our technical landscape includes around 150 container environments as well as Windows-based environments.

We are now looking for a Junior Platform Operations Engineer who wants to combine hands-on operations with engineering, automation and infrastructure as Code.

You do not need previous experience operating large-scale production environments. We are looking for technical curiosity, problem-solving ability and a strong desire to learn how complex systems work — and how they can be improved through engineering and automation.

About the role

The role combines hands-on operations with continuous improvement. Working closely with development teams and other engineers, you will help keep our platforms stable and reliable while making them easier to operate through automation, standardised tooling and Infrastructure as Code.

Your work will span areas such as:

• Operating and supporting container-based and Windows environments

• Monitoring,troubleshootingand incident analysis

• Supporting deployments and releases

• Working with logs,metricsand observability

• Databases and SQL

• Automating recurring operational tasks

• Improving deployment and environment processes

• Moving configuration and infrastructure towards Infrastructure as Code

• Improving reliability,standardisationand operational efficiency

A key part of the role is to reduce repetitive manual work through automation,standardisedtooling and infrastructure managed as software.

Who we are looking for

You may be a recent graduate or have up to a few years of professional experience. We believe you have a technical university degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Engineering Physics or a similar field. More important than the length of your experience is your curiosity and motivation to understand how systems behave in production.

We think you will enjoy this role if you:

• Like understanding how systems work under the hood

• Enjoy troubleshooting and solving difficult technical problems

• Like automation and finding ways to reduce manual work

• Are interested in containers, operating systems,infrastructureand networking

• Want to understand how business-critical systems behave in production

• Learn quickly and take responsibility

• Enjoy combining hands-on operations with engineering and continuous improvement

Your experience may come from university projects, a thesis, internships, personal technical projectsor previousemployment. Familiarity with technologies such as containers, Kubernetes, Windows, Linux, PowerShell, Python, SQL, Git or Terraform is an advantage, but we do not expect you to know them all. What matters most is a solid technical foundation and a strong willingness to learn.

Why join us?

This role offers the opportunity to build a strong technical foundation across operations, infrastructure,automationand software engineering. You will learn how large systems are deployed,monitored,troubleshotand kept reliable while helping us moderniseand automate the way they are operated.

If you are curious, eager to learn and want to understand both softwareand the infrastructure it runs on, we would like to hear from you.
